I love my bed and my soft toy. He's so cuddly.
Makes me feel safe and alone. 😊

I am 38 years old and have a Very Hungry Caterpillar pillow pet I've called Victor who is my biggest comfort item. I've had him so long (since pillow pets were first on sale) I forgot who gave him to me. He goes everywhere with me, even to hospital. Some people it's kinda childish of me, but I don't care because he calms me more than most things or people can.

@unknown. It used to be my garden before I got sick. I used to love going oyt twice a day to water or weed or pest management or simply to watch and enjoy.
Now - I have to say my bed & my mountain. Fresh sheets on my bed and my super soft dressing gown.
Meditating up on my mountain and hearing the Cockies screaching, the insects buzzing & feeling the wind and sun on my face.
Very calming.
